TUTORIAL: Snakeskin

Hello all! I'm sorry for the lack of posting lately. I don't really have time to paint my nails as often and when I do, I'm never able to catch the sun for photos. From now on I have to go downtown after school twice a week, meaning that I don't get home until nighttime. I'm working on an ongoing biotechnology project in a medical lab at a hospital. It's pretty exciting but very time consuming; yesterday I minced up some mouse tumors and we're now culturing the cells (: On top of all of that school, university applications and concert band is being very demanding, leaving little free time for nails.

But enough of that. Here's finally something fresh for you all: a multicoloured, textured snakeskin look. I actually came up with this easy technique with some silly experimentation when I was supposed to be studying diligently. Honestly, anyone can achieve this look. This isn't a konad stamp or anything because a) I seem to have misplaced my set and b) I fail at stamping anyway. I think of this method kind of like stamping for dummies the hopeless or poor man stamping :P

The base here is Essie Topless & Barefoot. The other colours aren't even nail polish! Curious to know the secret behind this look? Then see how I did the pattern in this video tutorial:

Kind of cool, eh? Definitely easy and unique. I know this won't suit everyone's tastes but I hope that someone out there likes it! (:

Omg I love this!!! I am going to try this out next time I do my nails! Thanks for the inspiration! Please visit my new blog SuperBeautyGuru.tk and tell me what you think :) I recently did a nail tutorial so you might like that :D
